The Vermont Castings [just a few bucks over Shavak's budget], is made
in Canada .[I suspect at the Fiesta plant - as Fiesta bought VC a few
years ago]. I've compared [with the idle curiosity of a Kamado
Driver], the VC & a similar Weber and concluded that I would buy VC.
It's carried by Home Depot so that is where my dissatisfaction, if
any, would be directed to.
